RG3 ranked 28th out of 32 projected starters this year. His number is down from last year - in the same poll - where he tied for 19th.

The way the poll is structured, is that quarterbacks are placed into one of five tiers.

According to the article, tier 1 quarterbacks can carry their teams, tier 2 quarterbacks are less consistent, tier 3 quarterbacks are good enough to start but need support, and tier 4 quarterbacks are reserved for unproven starters or those who might not last. Tier 5 quarterbacks are the lowest on the list.
